Overview

About 4 Alma Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Alma Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Southport (PR8 4AN). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 74.3% above the 2016 sale of £183,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 17.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in September 2016.
